Business Strategy/Planning

What do you need to be doing to run your business that you are not doing today?

We help you think through strategic decisions and recommend a course of action to achieve these new goals.

Analysis and Requirements

In order to create a solution, you first need to understand the problem you are trying to solve.

We work with your team and your stakeholders to analyze the current situation, understand what is working and not working, and create a problem statement for each engagement. Once we are clear on the problem, then we build out a requirements document outlining the business needs of each stakeholder group. We then review this with the client and stakeholders to ensure we have captured these correctly. Our team can be as detailed as required in this phase – from simple requirements lists, to a formal project requirements definition document including use case definitions and diagrams.

Business Impact Analysis

How is the problem impacting your business?

We look at the process end-to-end to assess the impact to your business. We identify problem areas and recommend improvements to help streamline your business processes.

Best Practices

How are other companies able to do this better than us?

We compare your current process to industry best practices and identify areas where gains may be captured. We prepare benchmarking studies to assess a companies relative performance and identify the key elements that allow companies to outperform others within a peer group. This then allows us to develop plans on how to make improvements or adapt specific best practices.

Process Efficiency

How do we do this better?

We can help you create new processes in an optimal manner to efficiently tackle changing business requirements. In addition, we can assess and adjust existing business processes to help them be more efficient.

Solution Implementation

How do I implement this change throughout my organization?

Not every solution can be implemented in a single phase. Often, organizations need to show immediate progress or business impact to gain stakeholder buy-in and achieve a long-term plan through an iterative or phased approach. Our team will work hand-in-hand with your team to ensure a successful implementation, assess the impacts of the new solution, and adjust the new processes as needed. This iterative approach will help to ensure a smooth transition into your business operations.

Measurement and Control

Is the new process rolled out and working effectively?

Once the new procedures are in place, we can help you to measure and score the effectiveness of the new process. These controls ensure the new process is being followed and help you understand how it has helped your business operations.

Change Management

How do we make sure this change is fully thought through?

Changes to a project or a business process may seem minor on the surface until you realize the many downstream impacts of the change. We help you prepare your entire organization for assessing the impacts of change. We help you with processes to identify the impacted stakeholders. We look at the work flow procedures to define the change and communicate the proposal to the interested parties. We help create a feedback loop for new information identified during the assessment phase. The decision to make a change is clearly communicated to all parties involved, which helps to smooth the way for changes to be implemented within your organization.

Business Reporting

How do we achieve visibility into business operations and portfolio performance?

Reporting is required to show the effectiveness of any program. The reporting requirements for a program should be determined up front, so the necessary data can be tracked appropriately for later reporting. We have experience in identifying the reporting data needed in advance of implementing the solution which reduces the need for changes later in the implementation cycle. Our team has experience with creating complex management reports and dashboards for tracking projects and operations.
